Customer Reviews

Amazing! I can't believe how smooth the texture is of things my old blender wold never have been able to handle, whole avocado seeds, chunks of frozen fruit, I don't even have to chop anything first, just throw it in.

Being reluctant to spend a great deal of money on a machine I was not sure I would find any better than my blender, I took the bold step to purchase this reconditioned Vitamix. I am ever so happy to have taken that step. I am still learning how to use this multi-functional machine yet what I am finding is that I will never go back to a common blender. I now wish I had not wasted my time with that limited blender. I am very happy with my purchase.

For a reconditioned blender, this is top of the line. The presets are perfect, the knob moves smoothly over the settings. It blends everything. The only difficulty is that sticky things can get stuck under the blade. Works best for smoothie-consistency. Clean up is a snap. The included cookbook is great.

I have used it everyday since I bought it and I love it. Smoothies, both green and fruity are wonderful and so smooth. You would never guess there are spinach leaves or kale in them! I am still learning how to use it and I plan on attending the workshop in September.

And now I finally know why everyone loves them. I have used blenders to "liquify" other shakes I like and they just do not compare. Oddly the Vitamix doesn't appear to be working as hard either... I feel very good about this purchase.

Have looked at these for years and decided to pounce on a reconditioned one for around $268. A lot for a blender but much better than full price. I am loving the way it makes smoothies--much better than other lesser blenders that I've had. They are like fabulous frappes! My partner was disappointed that it didn't manage to puree his raw vegetables but he has adjusted by steaming them a little first. So, yes, we are pleased with the purchase of our red and black beauty and feel pretty confident because of the 5-year warranty. What's not to like?

Now I get it. I liked using a blender before, but hated the clean up - taking apart the bottom, getting the rubber ring unstuck, etc. This one not only is far superior is blending (spinach, oats, etc. are completely blended) but also really easy to clean. And as someone who hates cleaning, thats a huge plus. Its a bit noisy, but all the pluses far outweigh this one issue.

It performs beautifully and you'd never know that it was a reconditioned unit. I'm just knocking one star off for the noise. I had read that this was a loud machine but didn't know just HOW loud until we got it home!

Have always wanted a vitamix, but couldn't justify the high cost. So when the refurbished model went on sale for about $250 I finally but the bullet and it's great! Very powerful, has many abilities a standard blender doesn't have, and is a fun kitchen tool. Sort of large and heavy so that could be a set back if you don't have much space. I don't think I'd be as happy about it if I paid the full $400+ for a standard model because I don't think it would earn it's value for what we use it for, but this refurbished option at a discount was perfect for us. It's definitely a quality machine and if you take advantage of all it can do, it's much more than just a typical blender!

I absolutely love this VitaMix reconditioned blender. After researching various juicers/blenders, the high-powered VitaMix blender seemed to standout above the others. Any uneasiness I had about purchasing a VitaMix was erased after viewing the CD which accompanies the blender. Thank you Sur la Table for offering this blender at an excellent price.

After careful review, I purchased the Standard Program Reconditioned Blender by Vitamix. I always saw the demos and decided to purchase because the price and warranty was right for me. The motor was a bit louder than my other blenders so I contacted customer service. The representative was awesome and explained way and offered additional information and support. I've since used the blender 5 additional times and it works great every time...so far so good! I'm glad I made the purchase.

I borrowed my sister-in-law's Vitamix blender for a month, and that convinced me to get one of my own. I could not justify the cost of a new one, so a reconditioned one--on sale--was the only option for me. It looks and runs like new. And with the 5-year warranty, there is little to worry about. I really like the 3 program selections. It's nice to not have to think about what speed and duration to blend something. The blender is loud, but probably not much can be done about that... if you want power, it's going to come with some noise.

It arrived so quickly I was surprised. It's beautiful, looks brand new and functions wonderfully! I am very well pleased with the extremely low price and the excellent product I got for it! Thank you for the opportunity to buy it!

It works just like it is brand new. Best blender ever! I’m still experimenting with all it can do! If I just used it for my morning smoothies I would be happy but hot soup and frozen desserts are awesome!

I bought reconditioned as I didn't want to spend the money a new one costs as I have not owned a Vitamix before and wasn't sure it was worth the investment. I am very glad I did, these things rock. It looks brand new and makes the best smoothies and drinks in the world. Haven't branched put yet but I'm sure I will never own another brand again should I ever need to replace it.

Since receiving this blender, I have used it everyday. I was hesitant, at first, since this brand is so pricey, but you truly can't beat the quality of this appliance. I get amazing smoothies every time I use it and it works just as well as its non-refurbished counterparts. Definitely recommend!

I have used it many times and I just got it about a month ago and I am so impressed with the quality. It is quiet, smooth and does the job so well. I actually considered buying another at this price, but the refurbished comes with a 5 year guarantee so I will have to think about it. Great product.

BEST ANSWER:I purchased a "reconditioned" Vitamix and if I didn't know better, would have thought it was brand new. Blender came in fresh packaging, had new recipe book, tamper and pristinely clean machine all for a fraction of the price. Works great!

BEST ANSWER:Durable plastic. Easy to clean as well - just put a little dish soap and some water (a cup or two) and run it from low to high for a few seconds and then rinse out. Nice to not have to scrub the blades or the interior.

I would expect you should. I have purchased other items from surlatable.com and had no trouble returning them to my local store. Just double-check the return window. I believe you have 60 days to take it back.

Yes, I was able to return it to my local Sur La Table store. (Nothing wrong with it; I had received another one as a gift after buying my own.) Bring any receipts/invoice just in case and to be sure the total refunded amount matches.

Jeffrey, I'm sure it could be returned to a local Sur La Table store. I've really been enjoying mine. I've gone though several blenders and this seems to be the best thus far and has a longer warranty.

BEST ANSWER:VitaMix is a very powerful blender. This is the reason why you see these types of blenders sitting inside noise reduction chambers at places like Juice and Coffee shops. I don't believe my VitaMix is very noisy though. One thing to think about as well is where you place the blender. Sometimes the surface area is not smooth or stable and can make the blender sound louder while it's powered on. Good luck!

All blenders are loud, including the VitaMix. What makes a difference is the power they produce relative to other blenders. The fact that a VitaMix can convert cold vegetables into hot soup is a testament to their power. However, if noise is a primary concern, then VitaMix is probably not for you.

I do not know about all by the mix blenders. But mine is no louder than any other blender I ever had. It depends on what you are using at four. For instance, Breaking up ice is very loud everything else. It's no different from my other experiences

Well yes I think they are. I know mine is and I've been to my friends homes when they've used them and they all sound about the same. That motor is so powerful, I guess it's hard to make it quiet. I do LOVE my Vitamix though

I have not done this with my Vitamix but I do know you can buy the dry grind container. It's a different pitcher. I love my Vitamix by the way! It's amazing and I've made soups, smoothies, salsas....I'm very happy with my purchase and would do it again! Super great deal!

My friend bought one new, and I can't tell any difference in the sound level. It isn't any louder than my other blenders, but it is not a quiet hum. Ask to have one demonstrated at one of the stores if you are not sure. It is a great blender, and Vitamix support is very helpful with any issues. I hope this helps.

It's definitely not quiet, but one of the benefits of the Vitamix is that it does its blending/processing very quickly. If you have thin walls I suppose your neighbors might hear it, but most of the time I'm done in under a minute.

Can I use it to make blended cocktails? I don't want to have a blender & a Vitamix.

BEST ANSWER:Yes. I would use pulse & great for adding ice. Go slow and take it easy till you get the hang of it. This is a super blender on steroids. I would advise getting the smaller carafe it is so much handier for frequent uses and easier to keep out on the counter and ready to go.

I'm assuming you could, I don't make cocktails in mine. But I do make smoothies and they come out very well blended and delicious and if I add ice it crunches it up perfectly. I love my vitamix and I don't own a blender.
